These dark patches on my cheeks and forehead came up around 5th month and yaar it really bothers me when i see pics. Just want to know if it fades on its own after delivery or stays. Anyone whose skin went back to normal?
Yes, it actually fades on its own after delivery once your hormones settle down. But practically, you need to wear a good physical sunscreen even indoors if you want it to go away faster. Don't waste money on heavy treatments right now.
Oh, those lovely pregnancy masks! With twins, I had double the pigmentation, looking like a map. Yes, it fades away slowly post-delivery, but honestly, you'll be too busy changing diapers to even notice your face in the mirror!
Honestly, don't spend on expensive skin clinics or creams during pregnancy, it's a waste of money when hospital deliveries are already so costly. Mine cleared up almost 80% within six months of having my baby without any costly treatments. Just use a basic safe moisturizer.
These skin changes can be bothering, but please don't worry about cosmetic things right now. Just focus on keeping yourself and the baby healthy and safe. The patches will eventually fade away once you deliver, trust the process.
Melasma is mostly hormonal, same like my thyroid issues. My doctor told me once the thyroid levels and hormones went back to normal post-delivery, the skin would clear up. Just keep tracking your routine blood tests and consult your doctor.
